You may be bummed that you had to go back into the office today, but Mondays don't have to be all bad! Especially because Monday Night Football is featuring a double-header with two key matchups.
Fans can watch Monday Night Football on television with ESPN and ESPN Deportes through your cable service provider. Monday Night Football is also available with streaming through YouTube TV, Sling TV, Fubo, and the NFL+ app.
In the first matchup of the evening, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills will host Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars. And it will be a pivotal matchup for both teams.
Josh Allen Makes Request of Bills Mafia For Monday Night Football
The Bills will look to join the Minnesota Vikings, Pittsburgh Steelers, Seattle Seahawks, and the Kansas City Chiefs as the NFL's only undefeated teams. It will be crucial for them to secure a victory tonight after the New York Jets win on Thursday. They will no longer have sole possession of first place in the AFC East with a loss.
Bills starting quarterback Josh Allen is aware of the importance of a game of this magnitude and knows that home-field advantage will be a factor.
"Bills Mafia, they live for games like this," Allen said during his media availability this week. "Hopefully we have them in the building and they're as loud as can be, making as much noise when the opposing team is on offense and hopefully they're quiet when we're on offense. Best fans in the league."
Doug Pederson Gets Candid on Trevor Lawrence
As for the Jacksonville Jaguars, they are just looking for a glimmer of hope. Dating back to last season, they have lost seven consecutive games. And falling into an 0-3 hole could put a significant damper on their playoff hopes.
But despite their recent struggles, Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson hasn't lost hope in his starting quarterback, Trevor Lawrence.
"I think he's done a good job. Can he be better? Yeah, he can be better. I think that's all part of just continuing to grow," Pederson said.
"I think, too, you look at we've had more backed-up drives in two games, I think we've had in two years. So, our starting field position has been tough, so there's some challenges there too."
